which would be a smiley face with a nose.

That was my thinking. As Hogy notes it also looks like a smily shedding a tear so I wasn't sure if there was some new emoticon that was a hybrid of a sad face and happy face._________________

I just got off my first shift from my new (and first) job. I now work part time as a dishwater at a restaraunt._________________

Recently we bought a second-hand DSLR, to take pictures of the local wildlife, and I wanted to share a couple of pictures here. I mean, they're not great, but they're better than anything else I've ever taken:

This is the first time I've taken a picture of a humblebee that wasn't just a blur. I was ecstatic for a day, simply because you can actually see the wings in flight.

And here's my attempt at taking an artsy photo of a woodpidgeon in the local woods. It's a little embarrassing because I didn't realise it was there until after the photo was taken. I was trying to photograph a spider's web ... I mean, I totally meant for that to happen ._________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar.

Good photos, Life! The best photographic moments are accidental. _________________

Yesterday at work, I was passing the time by obnoxiously following a coworker while singing along to a Taylor Swift song that was playing. She launched into a rant about how Swift is talentless and a disgrace to music. When asked who she'd rather hear, she proceeded to gush about how much she loves One Direction and Miley Cyrus. Just why._________________All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

^You know about 15? years ago an elderly neighbor of mine asked me if I like Britney Spears. He said he doesn't know a thing about her, but keeps hearing about her on the news. I was like : Dude you don't even know who she is? I'm not into pop, but dude .

Like I've said he was an elderly gentelman, early 70 I guess. I'm half his age and I don't know what the hell you're talking about. The only name I recognize is Miley Cyrus.

I honestly think I'm better off not knowing, even if it makes me "out of tuch with the world."

Found this awesome poll today:

One will protect you, the other three will try to kill you, who would you choose:

Wolverine
Batman
Darth Vader
Iron Man

I chose Vader, for the logical and obvious reasons! _________________We fight, we earn, we never learn. And through it all, the hero falls...

Man, choosing between Batman and Darth Vader... If it's Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale Batman, I'd have to say he wins for me. Otherwise, I'd pick Vader. The other two don't even compete with Batman in Vader in my book.

All this assuming it's a "Who is your favourite character" poll and not a "Who is the hawtest" poll. _________________

I chose Darth Vader because when it comes to protecting you against Wolverine, Batman and Iron Man, he'd be the best guy to do it!
He has a lightsaber to cut of Wolfy's claws, force choke Batsy and then use the Force again to crush Tony in his suit. They won't stand a chance! _________________We fight, we earn, we never learn. And through it all, the hero falls...

I've been listening to this new podcast series, "Welcome to Night Vale." It's told like a radio news broadcast, about a creepy little desert town. It's quite funny.
